o$43bobo$o43bo!Not sure about that last part. It would be nice to be able to check for passing signals with some kind of Heisenburp device, but I haven't figured out how to make that work yet -- maybe a non-stable solution could be worked out, with a clever spark applied to the trailing single bit just as the wire is recovering? The period of such a spark would have to be fairly high, though.
Here at least is a proof-of-concept way to turn a c/2-diagonal signal into other signal types. The rebuilding problem is nontrivial but probably already no worse than what lightspeed telegraphs have to do.

EDIT: Here's one conversion for each termination type. The rebuild would only have to be done once for each pair of signals. The block at the end of the wire looks like it could be permanent, but probably it would have to be shot down and rebuilt by whatever mechanism (slow salvo? big stable converter?) reconstructs the end of the wire.
